Charlie Was Right

The rancher got last minute support from a whacko with money who ran ads against her opponent, and the ‘priceless’ [= ‘worthless’] endorsement from the former half-term governor of Alaska. Ms Fischer won by being to the right of the Tea-Partiers and assorted other lint off the fringe of those who call themselves Republicans. The winning strategy was to let the two front-runners beat the crap out of each other until only one was still viable, and then attack the survivor.

In the general election she faces former Nebraska governor and Senator, Bob Kerrey, who calls himself a Democrat because there are only two choices. Kerrey is a millionaire, so money is not an issue for him [being the bluest of dogs, the Democrats will provide him funding], neither is anything approaching a recognizable political philosophy.

As right-wing as Kerrey is, he is at least not certifiably insane. Hopefully the people of Nebraska will vote for sanity rather than batshit crazy. On the other hand, hope and some change will get ya a cuppa coffee at the diner…

My local Congresscritter isn’t smart enough to grab any cash, so he votes for the bankers without bringing home any money for the local area. He has his answers to all questions on cards which say ‘cut taxes’, ‘eliminate regulations’, ‘Dems are commies’. That’s the extent of his ‘political philosophy’. He makes the Shrubbery seem intelligent.

"A person who has a cat by the tail knows a whole lot more about cats than someone who has just read about them."

Mark Twain

"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
